| Do you think LP needs break-in to sound its best? Gaslover, please google vinyl record mold release and you will get numerous hits that discuss this topic with more authority. From my understanding, the mold release agent is a stearate compound which is mixed with the vinyl before pressing. Stear... | |
| SLP 98P paired dynavector 20x2high cartridge? Totem and tubes don't mix we'll, that's the real problem. | |
| Do you think LP needs break-in to sound its best? Mold release is applied to album stampers to prevent the vinyl from sticking to the stamper. Some of the mold release will be transferred to the new album; therefore, new albums should be cleaned prior to play. What you are hearing is the phono ca... | |
| SLP 98P paired dynavector 20x2high cartridge? As an alternative option, you can send your SLP 98P back to Cary and have them install Lundahl step-up transformers.This kicks the gain up to about 55dB, and sets the loading to 100 Ohms. Coupled to the 20dB found in the linestage, this gives enou... | |
| VPI is Introducing a high-end Direct Drive Table The VPI 3D tonearm is a one-piece structure, from its head shell to its counterweight stub and is made from an epoxy-plastic that is both lightweight and rigid. I would assume that the arm will be costly, as it takes 24 hours to print one arm wand... | |
| VPI is Introducing a high-end Direct Drive Table Captain_winters, the new 3D arm will be a drop in replacement for all Classic series arms. I got this info directly from VPI. No idea when the arm will be commercially available. | |
| Thinking About Upgrading the VPI Tonearm Base I would assume that the 10.5se and the Classic with VTA would sound the same if both were optimally set up for the cartridge, BUT, you have a much better chance of getting the arm optimally set up for the cartridge with VTA on the fly, and for tha... | |
| cleaning tube sockets Unplug the unit and let the caps bleed off. I use a pipe cleaner and deoxit or iso alcohol. | |
| Offset Angle on VPI Classic Tonearm Dyan xx2-mk2 is square in the head shell with 1/8 inch overhang from the head shellKoetsu Black has a very very slight twist and with 1/8 inch overhang from the head shell.To the uniformed eye, both cartridges look square in the head shell. | |

| VPI TNT MkIII - pluses and minuses? Firstly, the Super Platter and the TNT Mk5 platter are awesome platters. The Classic platter, to my ears, presents a more lively and dynamic sound. It does an extremely good job at retrieving inner detail. There appears to be more separation betwe... | |
| VPI TNT MkIII - pluses and minuses? I never had a problem with the Super Platter or the Mk5 platter when using the rim drive. I do however; run the rim drive on the stainless steel portion of the Super and MK5 platter. I have since switched to the Classic platter.I agree that the VP... | |
| VPI TNT MkIII - pluses and minuses? Correction to my above post. IMHO, the table pictures is a mk 1 with an updated tri-pulley and updated " standalone" motor ( replacing the old square motor). | |
| VPI TNT MkIII - pluses and minuses? Frogman, I don't believe that the platter pictured is a mk 3. The table has an original TNT 2 piece acrylic plinth, the towers and feet are mk1. The mk3 TNT has stainless steel towers with the elephant feet. There is nothing that I would consider ... | |
| VPI TNT MkIII - pluses and minuses? Frogman, I believe that VPI stopped using the lead ring delrin platter in the TNT Mk2. VPI used 2 different well type bearings during the TNT production. Mk 1-3 used a aluminum bearing housing with bronze bushings. TNT 4-6 used a stainless steel... |
